I'd like my equipment to last long enough for me to reach a high level of understanding (I estimate 7 or more years), and I need it to be portable. Typical standards of durability and serviceability in computer manufacturing are inadequate.
Linux (along with other community OS projects) is fantastic but its strength lies in all the things it protects the user from learning. It is also unmanageably complex for an individual user. While it is useful for many things, it is counterproductive to my goals.

Oh man. That IS cool. Since I'm steering clear of Intel processor architectures it is probably not the best fit, but it is inspiring.
